Microsoft for Startups Investor Offer Benefits

The Microsoft for Startups investor offer provides enhanced benefits designed to help startups build faster, scale smarter, and reach more customers.

Benefits in the Microsoft for Startup investor offer include:

Azure Credits to help you get started:

If approved for the investor offer, most startups begin with $100,000 in Azure credits with the opportunity to earn more.

How credit balances work: A startup is eligible for credits up to the maximum amount of their offer, minus any credits already used. For example, if a startup’s offer is $150,000 and they have used $50,000, they can access an additional $100,000. If they have already used $150,000, they aren’t eligible for more. To confirm eligibility and the maximum amount available, founders should ask their investor for details tied to their referral code.
